Are you a fan of Outsiders? WGN America just cancelled the TV series after two seasons. What do you think? Do you think it should have been renewed? Would you watch a third season on another channel?
Airing on Tuesday nights, the Outsiders drama follows the Farrell clan, a tight-knit family who reside in the rugged hills of Appalachia and come into conflict with the surrounding population. The cast includes David Morse, Thomas M. Wright, Ryan Hurst, Joe Anderson, Gillian Alexy, Kyle Gallner, Christina Jackson, Francie Swift, and Phyllis Somerville.
Ratings have never been great for Outsiders, but it’s been one of the highest-rated original scripted shows on WGN America. Currently, season two is averaging a 0.21 rating in the 18-49 demo and 780,000 viewers — down by 26% in the demo when compared to the first season. Now, it seems that the upcoming season two finale, scheduled for April 25th, will also serve as the series finale.
Or, will it? Sony Pictures Television is reportedly shopping a third season of Outsiders to other outlets. The show’s ratings wouldn’t seem to be a strong selling point but, these days, you never know.
What do you think? Should Outsiders have been renewed by WGN America? Would you watch the TV series on another channel or via a streaming service?
Yes
Yes, it should have been renewed. The only reason it didn’t have higher ratings is due to it being on a network no one thinks about being quality. If they hadn’t advertised The Outsiders on other networks, I would have never know about it. It may not have high ratings compared to shows on FX but, then again, WGN doesn’t have the viewers FX does. They stated the canceled it to free up space. Anytime they have a show that starts to get attention, they cancel it. I’m not falling for it again. After the finale of The Outsiders, I… Read more »
It’s a great show….please do a season 3. My wife and I love it.
I am hopeful that another network picks up the series. This is a very good show. I don’t understand why WGN cancelled it. It has very loyal fans.
YES!!! #ShayMustStay. We’re hooked ok this show and WGN America doesn’t offer much else.
Keep it! I love Outsiders and would definitely watch it on another channel.
Yes I’d watch it anywhere!!!
Can not believe they canceled. Would watch on any channel.
This show is incredible, better than any reality show, need more programming on the tv like this. Truly unfortunate, i guess WGN will see this show has brought them viewership when we arent tuning into their channel on Tuesday nights
WHY would they cancel one of their mot watched shows?? Come on now what is wrong with WGN?? I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show!!! PLEASE some one pickup the show!!!!!
Best show on tv.this is ********
Please someone help, this is one of my favorite shows
Finally an intelligent show with good performances. No wonder WGN doesn’t want it anymore. Look for “The real idiots of baby boo-boo of Cook County” coming soon. Unfortunately the viewing public of the U.S. would rather watch junk than quality. No surprise since this country elected a TV idiot as commander and chief.
I’ve totally devasted by the news of the cancellation of Outsiders. This is one of only a few shows I seek out religiously to watch. This show is simply a joy to watch from Farrell clan, Sasil and the citizens of Blackburg. I love this show and will watch it on any network that picks it up.
You better believe I would! I love this show! I can’t believe it’s getting canceled and I’m hoping another channel picks up where this season leaves off! PLEASE
